01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

The pork-wrapped vegetables are a natural place to start at Chikurin: each skewer is assembled and grilled right in front of you. One diner enjoyed the contrast between the fragrant exterior and juicy centre, making them a tempting match for a drink. For a final bite, that same diner recommended a rice ball topped with salmon, its soft rice offering a satisfying way to round off a meal of skewers.

Other diners have reported enjoying sashimi, fried chicken, yakitori and oysters, as well as a good selection of drinks. There are also accounts of a soup made with fish head and beef shank served in a clear broth. Leaving the order to the chef and trying the day's recommendations may be another way to explore the menu. If choosing feels difficult, you could start with skewers such as the pork-wrapped vegetables, then ask about the sashimi or fish dishes among the recommendations.

The restaurant is also described as suitable for solo dining. Dinner is served Wednesday through Sunday from 17:00 to 23:00; the restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
